Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, Theon – Peace talks open up opportunities
Hopes for a ceasefire in Ukraine are currently influencing not only politics but also the stock markets. While a possible peace plan is being negotiated at the highest level in Berlin, defense stocks are coming under short-term pressure. Investors are pricing in a scenario in which the military escalation subsides. However, looking beyond the daily headlines reveals a different picture. Regardless of the outcome of the Ukraine summit, Europe is facing a long-term security policy realignment, with permanently higher defense spending. For the defense industry, this means short-term volatility, but attractive prospects for investors in the medium to long term.

Great potential in the defense sector! RENK, Hensoldt, NEO Battery Materials
Milestone at NEO Battery Materials! With the lease of its new operational battery facility, NEO Battery is now ready to start commercializing its high-performance battery technology for defense, automotive and energy sectors. The new factory eliminates the need for time-consuming and costly construction. Orders and partnerships are also already in place. It is likely only a matter of time before batteries are also used in tanks. In Germany, RENK, for example, is developing drives for vehicles weighing up to 70 tons. Analysts consider the recent sell-off in defense stocks to be exaggerated. Their current favorite is Hensoldt. However, the sensor specialist is not recommended as a buy by all experts.

The Wall Street leverage: What Bank of America's entry really means for Almonty - the MP Materials blueprint
Capital on the stock market is not all the same. There is "dumb" money that chases short-term trends, and there is "smart" money that actually shapes markets. The alliance between Almonty Industries and Bank of America is therefore far more than a simple financing round. It is an institutional seal of approval that, via access to the wealth management arm Merrill, opens the door to US private capital and enables a re-rating. Analysts such as D.A. Davidson had already confirmed this potential before the most recent capital increase with the high-profile lead bookrunner, issuing concrete price targets of USD 12 and pointing to massive revenue growth through 2028.

Silver soon at USD 100 – has the defense rally now stalled? Silver North, Rheinmetall, and DroneShield in focus
Unbelievable – who would have thought it? Last week, silver reached the USD 64 per ounce level for the first time, reflecting a pronounced imbalance between supply and demand. In contrast to the bubble surrounding the Hunt brothers, who effectively bought up the silver market to nearly USD 50, today's rally is based on a global structural deficit driven not only by industrial demand but also by geopolitical tensions, rising government debt, and a weak US dollar. Physical silver availability is declining worldwide due to low production levels. At the London Metals Exchange (LME) in particular, inventories have fallen by roughly one third since 2021, while ETFs have reduced the freely available supply by more than 75%. The situation is coming to a head! Where should investors start paying closer attention?

Peace shock or lasting boom? Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and thyssenkrupp under review
A new diplomatic dynamic is raising hopes for a possible end to the Ukraine conflict and presenting investors with a complex question. While any news of peace puts pressure on defense stock prices in the short term, structurally increased defense budgets and an ongoing modernization cycle are driving the industry forward in the long run. The real opportunity lies in the shift from an acute crisis to a predictable, steadily growing security industry. We analyze the starting positions of Rheinmetall, Almonty Industries, and thyssenkrupp.

DO NOT PANIC! Almonty, Standard Lithium, and DroneShield
Commodity gem Almonty experienced a significant price setback on Tuesday. But yesterday's recovery shows that there is no reason to panic. The Company is on its way to becoming a tungsten superpower. CEO Lewis Black left no doubt about this during his latest presentation to investors. According to him, the tungsten spot price could rise to USD 1,000 per MTU. Analysts expect significantly less, and Almonty is already achieving strong margins at USD 300. The fact that investors can react very sensitively after massive price gains was demonstrated by DroneShield's stock. But now the recovery rally is underway. Things are also happening at Standard Lithium. The Americans appear to be well on their way to securing billions of USD for the construction of their first lithium mine.

What is going on? Sharp price swings for Almonty Industries, Klöckner & Co., and RENK!
Negotiations to end the war between Russia and Ukraine are dragging on. The 28-point plan originally drafted by the US government has now been reduced to 20 points and is to be presented to Ukraine. In general, skeptical voices are growing louder, with many not expecting an agreement to be reached anytime soon. Against this backdrop, defense stocks such as Rheinmetall and RENK are rising. Equally exciting is Almonty Industries, a Canadian manufacturer of the critical metal tungsten, which is also in high demand in the defense industry. Recently, the stock fell significantly to an attractive price level.

Defense stocks are RISING! The US is leaving Europe on its own! Rheinmetall, Hensoldt, and Antimony Resources!
Investors are once again snapping up defense stocks. On the one hand, peace in Ukraine seems unlikely in the foreseeable future. On the other hand, Europe can no longer rely on the US. Rheinmetall and Hensoldt are therefore in high demand. The shares of both companies have gained ground in recent days and have received additional tailwind from orders. Defense companies such as Rheinmetall and Hensoldt would likely face major problems without antimony. Nevertheless, this critical metal is relatively unknown among investors. Here, too, China determines supply. This makes Antimony Resources interesting for investors. After strong share price gains, the stock has recently consolidated. This offers an entry opportunity before the first resource estimate is published shortly.

Gold rush 2026: Position yourself quickly! Keep an eye on Barrick, B2Gold, Desert Gold, and DroneShield!
Who would have thought it? Gold and silver are the clear winners among defensive assets in the 2025 investment year. Protection against inflation, geopolitical risks, and fiscal-policy uncertainty has made precious metals shine, which, despite all the doom and gloom from tech stock market traders, were able to generate high double-digit returns of 57% and 82%, respectively. Of course, a 10% drop in the US dollar is weighing on returns in euros, but there is still a nice profit left in the account. Gold and silver mining stocks and, selectively, some explorers performed even better. In today's peer group, we turn our attention to the African continent, where important changes in the regulatory and economic environment could transform local producers into potential cash machines in 2026.

RENK better than HENSOLDT? Risk at NOVO NORDISK! Billion-dollar opportunity with RZOLV Technologies!?
Is RENK's stock better than Hensoldt's? That is what analysts are saying. According to them, the transmission specialist is attractively valued at the current level. Hensoldt, on the other hand, is having problems converting its order backlog into revenue growth, leading to a significant reduction in its price target. In contrast, RZOLV Technologies shares have enormous upside potential. The Company aims to replace a toxic chemical used in gold extraction, thereby opening up a billion-dollar market. Development is nearly complete, and patents have been filed. In just a few months, RZOLV could become a hot takeover candidate. Meanwhile, takeovers currently appear to be a way for Novo Nordisk to replenish its drug pipeline, with the Danish company taking risks worth billions - Pfizer, take note.
